This wasnt a random street fight dummy. Rickson knew the guy, he had come by the Gracie dojo several times taunting the students and calling out Rickson, who oddly enough, wasnt there when Hugo would show up.
Bitch slapping the guy is exatly the way to starting the beatdown of the idiot. Humiliate the guy first, then finish him off.

It's easy to pull guard when you have sand to fall backwards on.

He's just lucky there wasn't any broken glass or lava....

Lots of respect for BJJ practioners...but in my own personal opinion whether you care or not I had to comment and express it, this is a terrible example of promoting BJJ as a street effective art...there are no winners or losers in a street fight...so what if Mr. Duarte lost?...his spirit still lives and that's something Mr. Rickson will never get. Why do so many people get caught up with this feeling of superiority? There will always be a much Higher Power!

WELL I don't quite know what to make of that?

I had to watch it over again.

I am a big admirer of the Gracies - but that was not a convincing performance by Rickson!

If I didn't know better - I'd say it wasn't even him!

But someone of far less ability!

If you look closely , apart from the end -
he did not look in control or even very comfortable!

Not the Grace of a Gracie!

But we all have off days I spose?

And he ended up victorious - I presume?

God knows what he's on about!

Been out in the sun too much - me thinks!

Or been hitting the bottle - instead of the punch bag?

But don't worry - as your "spirit" will live on!

Durrrrr. Durrrrr.

I never said it was a random street fight. I said that Rorion was claiing that the fight showed how suitable the system was for self defence.

Durrrrr. Durrrrrr.

So do you think it is on that evidence, or not?

Durrrrrr. Durrrrr.

If you watch the whole Gracies in Action DVD, its only 1 fight of many that example the way BJJ works in street fights. This example, it worked perfectly, not only that, Rickson was so certain that it would work, he had the confidence to bitch slap the opponent before it even started. He could have sucked punched him, took his back, etc, no, he gave him a fair fight. I suggest watching the Gracies in Action 1 and 2, the bonus material with the high school kids fighting too.
